IMPROVEMENT IN SOLE-EDGE-TRIMMING TOOLS..

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,096. dated February 18, 1873.

To yall whom it mag/concern:

`Be it known thatV I, IcHAEoD R. ROGERS, of Lynn, in the county of Essex, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Sole-Edge-Triinming Tool; and I do hereby declare that the following, taken in connection with the drawing which accompanies and forms part of this specication, is a description of my invention suicient to enable those skilled in the art to practice it.

The invention relatesto the construction of a hand-tool for cutting from the edge of a shoesole a strip, preferably square or rectangular in section, to impart a iinish to the sole-edge, and to leave the bottom ofthe sole projecting down beyond the surface at and near the edge, the nished edge thus lessened in thickness Wearing longer in a finished condition or without being subject to the abrasive wear which the tread-surface undergoes.

In my invention I use a handle or stock having extending from one end a gage-piece that, in connection with the cutter, shalldeterniine the width of cut, and having also at such end a gage piece or surface that, in connection with the cutter, determines the depth of cut; these two gages being xed, and the cutter formed with one edge extending to the first gage, and the second edge (angular thereto) extending to the second gage, the two gagesurfaces preferably forming two sides 'of the quadrangular figure, and the cutting-edges the other two sides thereof. It is in this construction of a tool that my invention consists.

The drawing represents a tool embodying my construction.

ing toward the edge of the cutter. an end view.

c denotes the stock or handle. Fixed to the stock and projecting from its end is seen the gage-plate b.` This plate is about half the thickness of the stock, as seen in Figs. 3 and 4, and forms a lip or projection, the inner face.

through the stock, and having a nut, g, on its screw-threaded end. The cutter has two cutting-edges-one, h, being in the line of the shank, and the other, t', extending therefrom Ato the gage b. 'Ihe end of the cutting-edge t' extends into th'e gage, and the edge h extends toward and by the bottom of a gage, 7c, and the width of cut is determined by the length of cutting-edgefi between the face ofthe gageplate b and the angle of the knife, while the depth of cut is determined by the length of cutting-edge h between the bottom of the gage 7c and the angle of the cutter.

In use the gage k is held against the bottoni of the sole and the gage b against the edge of the sole; and by arranging the cutter and gage-faces as shown I am not only enabled to cutout the strip to shape the edge of the sole as desired, but I secure a firm support for the cutting-edges.

The sole-edge-trimmin g tool, having the cutter and its cutting-edges arranged with respect to the gage-faces substantial] y as shown and described.
